Vision-Mission-Goals of ETS
Vision:
We envision a caring, sharing, and life-enhancing Christian community involved with others in the struggle for a just and humane society
that upholds the integrity of creation.
Mission:
The Ecumenical Theological Seminary exists to equip the clergy and lay to bring about an ecumenical, contextual, and liberating ways of
being a church and of doing theology.
Goals:
1. To have Christian communities and individuals empowered to do contextual theology with the community, expressing it through
messages, arts, drama, cultural dances, liturgy, music, corporate worship and in their own other creative ways.
2. To have a seminary that is closely linked and related with local churches and conferences, other theological communities, people's
organizations, and other religious groups, and work side by side with them.
3. To widen the number of churches advocating and living out transforming values and caring ministries, addressing social concerns and
issues, continually enabling themselves and communities where they are to have a foretaste of as well as becoming a sign of shalom.
4. To have a seminary that is widely recognized as a center in the promotion of an ecumenical way of being church and of doing theology,
expressed in cooperative efforts with member churches of the National Council of Churches in the Philippines in terms of faculty and
students, regular South-South exchange program, accreditation and membership in ecumenical theological associations in the
Philippines and in Asia.
